The following from the New Eng
land Homestead is very suggestive:
Farmers who patronIze the CO.
operative creamery get their pay reg
ularly each month in cash. They thus
have cash to buy with instead of store
pay And, strange as it may seem to
those who think country store keepers
are all getting rich by taking butter
in exchange for goods, the stOrekeep-
ers are quite as hearty advocates of
the creamery as the farmers.
We consider that the intrinsic value
of the average farm is increased 10
per cent. by the establishment in the
neighborhood of a co operative Cooley
cream gathering system. If certain
and good cash-market at the door for
all the cream the farm will produce,
does not add ten per cent. to the an
nual receipts land thus to the value of
the FARM, it is because of the farm
ers inefliciency.
Many a wife has worked herself in
to an early grave by making butter in
addition to all other work that falls to
the lot of the average farmers wife.

Another Enoch Arden.

A Little Rock, Ark, special says:
Shiloh, n little town in the adjoining
county Of Cleburne, comes to the front
with an EnOch Arden story stranger
than fiction. Twenty-Five years ago
Mr.. Cooper, Of that place. left his wife
and children and entered the COnfeder-
ate army. Not long after a report
reached home that he had been killed,
and he was heard from no more, ex-
cept that some of his cOmrads, return
ing home, said that they had seen him
fall. His wife mourned a while, and
then, as widows will, took second
husband. The second husband died,
and in due time she took n third.
Later he succumded and she married a
fourth, Mr.. J. B. Jenkins, who is still
living. A few weeks ago she and Jen-
kins, finding they could not agree, de-
cided on separation. At this time, to
the CONSERVATION of the much-married
woman and the community generally,
the old identical husband, Cooper him
self, bObbed up serenely and claimed
his wife. His story Is that after the
war he was broken down in health and
purse, and when he returned home it
was to find his wife married TO another
man. He then went North, and, hear
ing of the death of one of her husbands,
returned to claim her. She is ready to
return to him, and the only bar to
their complete happiness is the ques-
tion as to whose wife she is.

SENECA on
Is What They Called Petroleum in
"t,3 w tks 1843. POT

Just now, when oil aud natural gas
form topic of such general discussion,
bit of history in connection with pc
troleum is most appropriate. Il. b.
Guitteau, of Toledo, in a dispute with
some friends in regard to the date of the
discovery and use of petroleum, con-
tended that the Pennsylvania discover
les were not the first to bring the fluid
into use, and to prove his position be
wrote to an acquaintance whom he
knew could settle the mooted question.
This acquaintance was M. 7. Wells,
now Vice-President of the First Nation
al Bank, at Marietta, o., and he wrote
/ TO saw that his early dealing in petrol
cum was in 1S43. "Seneca oil" as 1t
was then called, was brought to Mari
eta in small quantities by the natives
along Hughes river, a branch of the ka-
nawha. Mr.. Wells dealt in the fluid,
and he shipped five barrels to, New
York bv way of New Orleans, and sold
it to a druggist at 80 cents gallon.
From that time until the great oil dis
covery in Western Pennsylvania, the
Marietta dealer continued to sell petrol
cum to the druggists in all the large
cities, and the bulk of it was used in
liniments. The annual product ther
was about 200 barrels, which nowadays
can be exceeded by "a single well in 6
day or so. The "Seneca oiP' had 9
/ gravity of about %, and probably wa'
consumed in nearly its natural state.

A Modern Inquisition.

was under the impression that the
peine forte ct dure system Of inquisitioh
was obsolete in England; but, to judge
from the proceedings consequent on an
attempted burglary at the Manse house,
Shipton, Oxfordshire, not long ago, was
wrong. Mr.. Parrott, it seems, heard a
noise In his house one morning, and threw
up his bedroom window He then saw a
burglar escaping through the dining room
window. Having a gun, he challeng
him, but the man only ran the faster,
until he stumbled and fell on the lawn.
Mr.. Parrot fired, seriously wounding the
runaway, who was then shut up in the
stable till policeman arrived two hours
later. Removed to the Radcliffe infirm-
ary at Oxford, the man "obstinately
refused his name or address," but, ac-
cording to the reports in the papers, the
doctor was equal to the occasion, and ap-
piled the galvanic battery to the wounded
victim. A few smart shocks seemed to
have had the desired effect, and the tor
tured man stood, or lay, confessed as

PROM LIFE TO DEATH

Is but moment if rheumatism or neural,
gia strikes the heart. These diseases are
the most painful and the most dangerous
of any to which human kind is liable.
They fly from one part to another without
a moments warning, and liniments and
other outward applications are in them
selves dangerous because they are liable to
drive the disease to some vital organ and
cause instant DEATH Rheumatism and
neuralgia are diseases of the blood, andcan
only be reached by remedy which will
drive from the blood the dangerous acids.
Sucha o remedy is Athlophoros. Ithas been
thoroughly tested and is safe, sure cure.
Robert Sprotbery, Driver on Cedar Ave.
Car Line, and who lives at 6 Glendale
Ave., Cleveland, Ohio, said in relation to
his rheumatism: l have been troubled for
about three years with rheumatism in my
hip. have had many severe attacks, that
rendered it itimpossible for me toy work. These
attacks would often last from four to six
weeks, but / am glad to say have found
the medicine that masters the disease and
drives it away. / used Athlophoros for
one of these bad attacks and with but few
doses wasrid ofthe rheumatism and pain.
Have you had any return of the disease
was asked. Yes, I have never used Ath.
lophoros steadily, as am well satisfied
to use it as l do. As soon as l feel the
first symptoms of rheumatismI take dose
q or two of Athlophoros and thus avoid the
attack. 1 always keep it on hand and
: would not be without it. a s~ s
Robert D. Smith, of London, Ohio, ha'
had an attack of rheumatic fever, which fol
a time rendered him helpless. One bottl'
ofAthlophoros cured him, and though thi
-- was nearly two yearsag he has not has
rheumatism since. ........
Every druggiss should keep Athlophoro
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo
phoros Co., liz Wall ST., New York, vii
send either Carriage paid on receipt Q
regular price, which is $l.OO per bottl
for Athlophoros and Soc. for Pills. ~.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, in
digestion, weakness nervous debility, disease
Of women, constipation, headache, impur
